Description

After some brief introductions and a detailed overview of the agenda, expert instructors Andy Wigley and Rob Tiffany kick off the course with an information-packed introduction. This is the first part of a two-part module and covers the new app platform in Windows Phone 8, application development models, the Windows Phone 8 version of WinRT, supported application models and a "getting started with WP8 app development" section.

The Discussion

I would really appreciate if you guys added captions to your videos. I am deaf and I have so many ideas for apps and I would definitely be interested in developing for Windows Phone 8 if I could only understand what anybody is saying. Reading lips can only go so far.

The Demo code download at the JumpStart site is broken. Unable to extract it as it asks for the next file in the split/spanned archive. I've downloaded both from Day 1 and Day 2 (exact same file size from both). Tried Windows Explorer, WinRAR and WinZip to extract. None worked. Please re-upload the demos.

Is is possible to download the videos direct to a windows 8 phone for viewing. Does IE on windows phone 8 support right click and download. If not, how would you put one of the videos onto the phone /(Nokia 920) for offline viewing.

Has anyone fixed the source code yet?? I would really like to download it. However, when I do download it what ever program I want to use says that it is in more than one file and I just keep getting errors and not even any partial extractions. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help us!!!
